I'm absolutely devastated to report that my local McDonald's seems to have replaced the custodian who was dealing drugs out of the parking lot

Whenever I see an account like this, I wonder if one of the dumbest people alive genuinely made a Bluesky account just to make bad faith arguments in replies, or if I'm experiencing the least effective astroturfing campaign in human history

You know, I'm starting to think this might not be my year in fantasy football. My opponent started the Vikings DST, and they managed to score 38 points.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Macron: “If we say all those living in Gaza and all those backing the Palestinian state are de facto supporters of Hamas, there is no end to this war except that you kill everybody. And this is terrible.”

what to do when a "let's all respectfully debate the intelligence of Black people" guy pops around is itself a political intelligence test and it's wild how poorly allegedly Serious Thinkers score on it

Witnessing the misery, salt and coping of other football fans is the one thing keeping me going right now

I have a really bad feeling that some time soon, a lefty is going to assassinate a conservative, and it's going to turn into an event kids read about in the history books.

Yesterday: No suspect in custody. "We will jump to the conclusion it was a radical trans leftist, we should persecute all people like this person" Today: Suspect in custody is from Utah, his dad is a Christian pastor. "We can't jump to any conclusions about this person's background or ideology".

So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?

-Conservative gets shot -Jump to conclusions saying the shooter is trans -Turns out to be some terminally online white guy Classic

Thursday Night Football on Prime might be the worst sports broadcast I've ever seen. More ads than play time.

Looking back in week 1, I kind of feel bad for Cam Ward lmao. He looked okay, but his entire team was falling apart around him. That's gotta be a rough NFL debut.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

To all conservatives upset about Kirk's death: Charlie Kirk would never have wanted us to politicize and make policy decisions based on his death. Please respect his memory. ❤️

Pictured: the entirety of Twitter right now

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

And this one

I have exactly as much empathy for Charlie Kirk as he did for the trans community. Interpret that as you will.

the two dems who were assassinated recently got barely two days news coverage.

as always you do remember correctly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Breaking: GOP lawmakers irate that UVU gunman shot a grown man instead of a bunch of children.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Bit of a shame that conspiracy theorists will say it's a trans woman, but what are you gonna do. It's not like they needed more material to persecute us anyway.

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

Asking a girl at a lesbian bar "boobs or ass", and when she says personality, slowly trudging away with a knapsack over my shoulder like a cartoon character

This is genuinely chilling shit. This kid might be alive today, if not for OpenAI's negligence. *This* is what happens when you prioritize speed and profits over safety.

But I guess if Trump triggers hyperinflation I can console myself in the knowledge that he had to humiliate John Roberts to do it.

Part of me kind of wants the economy to crash just because I would be relatively insulated from it, and the fireworks would be very entertaining. But then I remember I'm not a sociopath, and it sucks for random people to get hurt.

I think this is gonna be a big moment to find out if his bite is as big as his bark. I'm certainly hoping so.

I feel like people are really missing the forest for the trees here. If homeless people aren't allowed to live on the street, where exactly can they live? He's signalling a criminalization of just existing as a homeless person. And, I should note, de-humanizing American citizens.

Apropos of nothing, remember when Reagan got Alzheimer's and he would just get in front of a microphone and parrot whatever the last person to talk to him had said, causing complete chaos?

I think the best part of Twitter right now is that Elon Musk asked for a chatbot that always sided with the evidence, under the assumption that all of his beliefs were objectively correct. Said chatbot then started disagreeing with him, causing him to become angrier and angrier.

Where we’re at

Let me put it another way: I am not convinced Newsom is anti-Trump. And that’s a huge problem. He spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with Nazis. He might be saying the right things today, but he will flip on us. That’s why any support for him must come with a big asterisk.

Lmfao

Sometimes I worry that some of my posts could be misconstrued as threatening or advocating for violence. And then I read these reports, and it turns out that some people are just absolute maniacs with what they say in public. I'll be fine.

And to absolutely nobody's surprise, she was cisgender. I'm sure JKR and her "feminist" old will be very concerned about a teenager being forced to expose herself to a waitress, too. 🙄

Stay salty DC 🔥

TRUMP: "We're gonna fingerblast the moon" GOP: "Absolutely my lord, stunning wisdom"

Online arguments are actually very fun when you don't have an opinion one way or the other on the topic. Just a bunch of people dunking on each other, while my blood pressure stays blessedly low.

Devastated to learn that dildos are being thrown onto WNBA courts by misogynistic men. Instead of, as I initially assumed, overly enthusiastic lesbians.

Thinking about that time in college where people stole so much shit that the administration announced a 24 hour window where you could return any university property, no questions asked, and not get in trouble. I wonder what people ended up turning in that day.

I guess Israel found their final solution to the Gaza question

i really wish i could point to the exact writer or piece of writing that helped me understand that the american south in particular is a great historical example of how eagerly capital will shoot itself in the foot to maintain white supremacy, like you can set your watch to it

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.

This man is quite possibly personally responsible for more deaths than occurred in the entire Holocaust. In a sane world, he would see his own Nuremberg, and get an appointment with his own John Woods.

Incredibly sad to see the ADL has entirely dedicated themselves to punishing anyone who criticizes an ongoing genocide. They've now become staunch allies of the Trump administration, gleefully cheering on the erosion of civil rights. What a shame.
